If both plants would have grown evenly, I would have rated higher. Not sure if it was my fault being the first run through this hydroponics setup, or the genetics; but my 2 plants produced 4.5 oz and 1.7 oz, respectively. One plant also matured about 2 weeks earlier than the other, despite being in the same DWC reservervoir, lights, and each with their own matching air stones underneath the roots for the entire grow. That said, 4.5 oz from one plant probably triples anything I've seen out of my setup, and the buds look and smell better than anything I've grown.

All of plant #2, ready for trimming.
Was liberal with trimming, as I consume more edibles than smoking. This will be used for cannabutter and tincture/cannasugar

Reviews. Nutrient
First experience with flora trio. Loved how they seem to buffer the pH of the nutrient solution. I won't do this next grow, but I was able to use the same 27 gallon nutrient solution the entire grow without changing out the water except for the flush in the final 3 days.
Reviews. Lamp
These lights seem to do better during flowering. At some point I wouldn't mind getting a light dedicated to early growth and veg. I experienced some mottling and other issues that seemed to be light-related.
Reviews. Tent
Nice dense and frosty nugs. Heavily wet trimmed to make some good cannabutter, tincture, and canna sugar. The leftover buds were mostly very high quality and tight, with a yield of 6.2 oz. total dry weight. I did make a mistake of significantly over-drying these buds. When I first jarred them, they're at 35% RH. I'm trying to slowly bring them back up with boveda packs, but I'm sure some damage was done. Frustrating, but they still look good and smokable.
For my first hydroponic grow, I'm happy with the results and would say this is my best crop to date. It's also my first time using a nationally distributed or award winning genetics. Many say that growing hydroponically is more difficult, but I found it to be easier and less maintenance than growing in soil. I'll definitely stick to hydro, but I'm going to reduce to 1 plant and revise my DWC container to be more stable for my next grow.

See the last 2 pictures of week 3 for reference. pH oscillating from 5.6-6.3 (currently at 6.3). Temps day/night @ 79/69. Following GH Flora Trio recommended ratios (but diluted down to 630 ppm). Raised to 800ppm today. Have not changed nutrient solution to date.

hey there, sorry to disagree with larimar, but this is clearly not light burn. Light burn doesnt yellow the leafs it bleaches them, the leafs dont yellow starting from the base and between the veins of the leafs . this is a magnesium related symptom. Just add more cal mag. Simple fix the problem will stop spreading pretty quick and the plant will recover. Hope this helps ! 🚀

To me it looks like atypical Lightburn ( you upped intesity=?)
the burns will remain,,, but if you lower the lightintensity,,, plants will grow nice leaves again. Young plants like this get totally clear with 50-75 watt of Light
those Quantumboards have an extreme high DLI output

I'm noticing a major difference between my two plants. They're both in the same reservoir with the same training and feeding. They're the same strain of Bruce Banner from ILGM. Is this much of a disparity typical? Could I do anything to minimize it in future grows?

I have similar problem. With me was LED light, on one side grow faster (maybe stretch more). Than I buy extra led light, now problem is gone. So maybe if you rotate light, every time you water plants

Harvest in 1 week? Close-up pics are of the most mature buds, but most buds are 2-3 weeks behind this. How do you handle discrepancy in maturity between plants? Between the uppermost buds and ones halfway up the cola? ILGM Bruce Banner grown hydro at F63 under 240w quantum board
